As Farm Workers Awareness Week approaches, it's time to shine a light on the often-overlooked individuals who play a vital role in putting food on our tables and nourishing our communities. From sunrise to sunset, farm workers toil tirelessly to harvest crops, tend to livestock, and ensure that we have access to fresh, nutritious produce year-round. At THX! Dreams, their business's mission is to recognize and show appreciation of farm workers and their valuable contributions, and they are committed to supporting their rights, dignity, and well-being by taking it one step further – by making a farm worker's dream come true!

Farm Workers Awareness Week, observed annually in March, serves as an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges and hardships faced by farm workers across the globe. From unfair labor practices and inadequate wages to exposure to harmful pesticides and lack of access to year-round healthcare, farm workers often confront a myriad of obstacles in their daily lives. Despite these challenges, they continue to work tirelessly to feed their families and sustain our agricultural industry.

At THX!, they believe that farm workers deserve to be treated with respect, dignity, and fairness, and deserve even more gratitude due to their challenging and also essential occupation. That's why they are committed to support these farm workers through a commitment to ethical sourcing practices and partnerships with produce organizations who also want to reward and honor these hard-working individuals.

When you purchase any of the THX! Dreams products - like Kiwi King available currently in Winn-Dixies, or Pedregal Red Dragon grapes, Classic Harvest lemons (available in April), and other products with the THX! label, you're not just buying your favorite nutritious produce—you're also making a difference in the lives of farm workers and their communities – and at no extra expense! By choosing THX! labeled products, you can know that your purchase is going directly to help that specific farm workers, and your purchase helps to create a positive social impact.

Just by scanning the THX! label's QR code, you'll see the video of the farm worker in which she / he shares the dream and the job they do on the farm(s) or in the packing plant. They are fascinating, intimate videos to give you a glimpse into the heart and soul of a farm worker!

This Farm Workers Awareness Week, let's come together to honor and celebrate the contributions of farm workers everywhere.

  18. Thank you for all your hard work. Not easy in the heat of the day. I would some day love to start a veg garden.

  19. Farm Workers are some of the most dedicated workers you can find. They work long hours and physical labor that helps all of us in the USA and the World. I grew up on a vegetable farm where we grew Turnips, Parsnips, Cabbage and other types of vegetable including Hot House Tomatoes. Our Farm Workers were the best and we loved working beside them and enjoying their family along with our family.

  20. Thanks for all the hard work you do! My family and I appreciate your dedication you put into your work!

  21. I don’t think we appreciate how important and respectful it is to show gratitude to people who are not given a single thought, or are made aware of. A little gratitude really does go a LONG way. I know a lot of people think that all the farm work that is done in this day and age is all done by farm machinery, NOT.

  22. Have a relative recently discharged from the military now working on a farm co-op. Thanks for the info.

  23. Thank you farmers for working very hard for the public and ensuring that we get the best product our money can buy!!!
